Hello, you commented on my question and you mentioned that your case has similar trend (Filed by mail, with IOE number, NOA1 from Nebraska, second receipt from Potomac) Do you know if there is way to verify which center I130 will be process? Also, Last week my case status updated to "case is being actively reviewed by uscis" do you know how long it take to review I-130 after status change?

You can ask 'Emma' on the USCIS website. just type 'live agent' and it will connect you with a real person. They told me mine was at Potomac. Our application also went to actively reviewing end of November. Seems like there is no definitive time length for the actively review part. Could be days, could be months

Thank you, Live agent confirmed it is Potomac. Since Potomac current processing time "12.5 Months to 16 Months"; i was surprised to see status update. Let's hope for the best. thank you again.

Hi, did you receive any update on your case? I thought I would check with you since we filled around the same time. Thank you in advance.
blank avatar Poceangirl on 2022-07-25 said:
Hi no update yet :( how about you?
blank avatar DisplayName8490 on 2022-07-26 said:
No update yet. Hopefully soon since processing time is 12 months for Potomac Center.
blank avatar DisplayName8490 on 2022-09-06 said:
Hello, Have you received any update? I am still waiting for an update on my case. Based on USCIS processing time, it says it can't contact them before the end of October 2022. I wanted to check with you if we have to wait until then or if there is a way to inquire about the case.

Hi No update yet, it's been so long. From what I can see Potomac are around 8th July 2021 applications. So hopefully soon
blank avatar DisplayName8490 on 2022-09-06 said:
thank you for the quick response. Where do you see these type of details (Potomac are around 8th July 2021 applications)?

Thank you :) Your approval is coming soon
blank avatar DisplayName8490 on 2022-10-06 said:
Hi, I got approval yesterday, Approval notice is in document. But USCIS status still shows active review.  I noticed NVC already received your case. Did your status change on the USCIS website? Also, Do NVC send welcome letter to both petitioner and beneficiary via email?  Thank you again.
blank avatar Poceangirl on 2022-10-06 said:
Woohoo! Finally congratulations! My status changed to approved after maybe 1-2 days. Yes I got another notification a few days later saying case sent to dept of state, and then my husband received 2 emails from nvc the day after. I didn’t receive any, but I don’t think they had my email address. But you can both access the nvc portal from the email so no worries :)
blank avatar DisplayName8490 on 2022-10-06 said:
Yes, finally! Thank you again for the prompt response.
blank avatar DisplayName8490 on 2022-10-10 said:
Hi, I received two email from NVC today with subject title “Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation” and “NVC Case-number: Introduction to Document Collection” Is case creation email consider as “welcome letter”? Also, read about many issues on paying AOS fee and IV fee, do you have any tips? Pay fee one day apart? Thank you again!!
blank avatar Poceangirl on 2022-10-11 said:
I'm not sure which is considered the welcome letter but in any case you have everything you need to start NVC. We paid both of the fees on the same day it was no problem. Took about 2-3 days to process before you can start uploading everything. We are just waiting on our joint sponsor to finish gathering documents. I would get everything ready while you are waiting for the payment to process!
blank avatar DisplayName8490 on 2022-10-11 said:
Oh! I thought i can’t pay fee until NVC email bill/invoice for AOS & IV fee. Do we get bill from NVC? I noticed, you submitted form DS-261. I couldn’t find any information regarding DS-261 in NVC 12 steps process. When (after fee paid/before) need to fill out DS-261? Any insight is great help!!
blank avatar Poceangirl on 2022-10-11 said:
Haha don't look at that I thought it said Ds-260. In your email there should be NVC case ID and and invoice ID, just sign in using these and you should have the option to 'pay now'.

Got it. Thank you :)

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
